Inner Peace: My Favorite!
When I attended Byron Katie’s School years ago, I was introduced to the following piece.

Below are two excerpts. On from the “life… Read more »
Inner Peace Strategy: Put on Your Big Girl Panties
Every week, I take time to reflect upon the previous week’s accomplishments and wins. I also notice “what has contributed to my sense of inner peace,” and “what inner peace culprits may have disrupted the week.” It’s also important for me to articulate potential SOLUTIONS for those “inner peace culprits.” After all, who wants to… Read more »
Running out of Gas and INNER PEACE
I was running late for an appointment with my new gynecologist for my annual exam. My gas tank was running pretty low, but I thought I could easily make it to the doctor’s office. No problem.

Inner Peace, Earthquakes and Calming "The Adrenaline Rush"
Yesterday, at 11:42am Pacific time the walls started shaking vigorously. As millions of southern Californians, I wondered what this was about. My first thought was our beloved neighbor.
